Hey there folks,
Figured some of you might find this interesting!
Recently I had done a couple posting replies to Two different FoxPro groups on LinkedIn (and actually saw a couple responses from folks in this forum). And, this one guy on there - he went to view my profile - and, so, I decided to reach out and connect with him and message him. I even let him know a little of my own VFP background (starting w/Foxbase+ & also attending Fox conf. where FP for DOS was unveiled) - and he sent me this link to a resource webpage he created:
https://www.homecont.ro/Istoria-Foxpro-win32-API-documentatie-wiki-resurse-s...
Now, yeah - the dude is from Romania - so it initially comes up in a very different language. Lucky for me - my web browser asked me to translate it.
Anyway - figured it might be an interest share - in case some folks hadn't seen it before...
L8r, -Kurt

I just got another response from the guy in Romania - which I thought was rather interesting - as to his viewpoints: I gave up giving lessons on forums a long time ago since foxforum.com closed.
About companies that are still working in VFP9 […remote support…]: You cannot take a project from them or maintenance or what ever because all of them are “occupied” by the old FoxPro programmers Each group/page from my FoxPro history page has at least 1 “guru” behind it
https://www.homecont.ro/Istoria-Foxpro-win32-API-documentatie-wiki-resurse-s... So all of them are looking to keep their projects alive The most important VFP90 projects seem to be in Germany where are some VFP applications in the big automotive companies (Mercedes, BMW, and Volkswagen) This is the reason that the Germany FoxPro user group is also alive and "strong" See the last threads here: http://portal.dfpug.de/dfpug/
